I wondered the same. Warnings that appear are bugs that were hidden, in my opinion. Particularly pernicious bugs, as the warnings won't be suppressed if the module isn't installed in a "regular" path. It might cause someone a lot of angst, trying to work out why code does(n't) warning, depending on which machine it's run on. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
